My specs:
Win98, IE 4.x, 56k modem, 800 x 600, 32-bit color

First page:

The page loaded quickly.  The left blue border repeats at this =
resolution.  I would suggest making the background image at least 1024 =
pixels wide to avoid this.  The images in the upper left corner have a =
yellow (?) halo around them.  The text "The CDM Team" in this image also =
has the yellow halo.  Personal preference, I guess, but I don't care =
much for the style of the logo here.  It needs something...bevels or a =
drop shadow perhaps?

founder.html:

Same problem with the background.  This page has a line in front of the =
"Sign Up Now for the February 1st Launch" image.  Looks like you started =
your HREF tag just before a group of &nbsp's, causing it to underline =
those spaces.

The site is easy to navigate and each page loads quickly.  I notice the =
only contact information given on the site is to a hotmail account and =
an ICQ #.  If this is due to the prelim. stages of the site, I =
understand.  But, if your client really wants people to respond, they =
may need to be a bit more forthcoming about who they are and how they =
can be contacted.
